Horus Heresy 30k World Eaters #17

Shoulder pads pad on my World Eaters Tactical squad continues. I haven't finished them yet, as it's too hot to use my Vallejo Old Gold, which dries out before I can properly apply it. I might switch the acrylic version, just to get it done.

Apart from that, here is a sneak peak at my recipe for the graduated blue of the shoulders pauldrons/pads.

VGA Imperial Blue - Base

VGA Electric Blue - Highlight

VGA Wolf Grey - Extreme Highlight

I glaze this back with a glaze mix of Imperial Blue and Vallejo Glaze Medium.

So let's start off with
the statically posed B@C Plastic Contemptor model.

Before you assemble
the front and back halves, you will need to cut the center pelvis area
from the legs, leaving the rounded hip bearings and upper legs attached
to the lower legs. Trim this as close to the upper leg bearings. This
should be fairly easy if you do this before you glue the front and back
together.

Above is the two sections that you'll want to aim to cut. The front and rear sections of the pelvis.

Make the first two cuts as close to the outer portion of the hip joints, Aim to make this as flush to those as possible.

The third cut is across the top of the pelvis. Again try to make the cut as close to the bottom of the lower torso as you can. This is more to salvage to lower torso section as this will be where you will mount a magnet, later.

This will give you a front section and a rear section for the pelvis area and the legs.

Yes, I am back, it's been a while. And this time around, I got a chance to do a bit of a do-over on my Master of Mankind, the Emperor.

You'll remember where I had left of on this model (See below). Whilst it was a fun conversion, I just didn't feel it captured the essence of the Emperor.

So when the new Roboute Guilliman (aka Row-boat Girly-man) was released I knew I just had to make the conversion.

The basis of the Guilliman is truly a pretty model. Lots of detail. So what could I alter to make him look like the Emperor?Well, I focused on the areas of the highest detail, which could be re-constructed:HaloShoulder PadPower ClawBaltea (hanging leather waist straps)

So starting with the Power Claw, I used a jewelers saw to cut the hand from the arm. This will enable me to re-position the hand into a position were it appears that the Emperor is conjuring. I then re-cast some claws from the ForgeWorld Resin Kor Phaeron miniature and attached them to the fingers.

Yup, no Vlka Fenryka force would be complete without a squad of Sisters of Silence, or Adeptus Sororitas (Sisters of Battle). Especially for when the Rout burns Prospero. So I grabbed a Box of Dream Forge Games Eisenkern PanzerJagers, added some WH40k SternGuard Bolters and Statuesque Minatures 28mm Female heads. And off I went.
